Unlike other sound systems playing pretend sounds we play
the actual raw, pure, appropriate sounds from the real
locomotive. Just like it's suppose to be. Operate your railroad
locomotive with the correct sounds instead of the make
believe sounds. While some Whistle's aren't very pleasing to
be heard, they are indeed correct! Whistles are warning
devices designed to get your attention, not something that is
to be a pleasurable sound. More pleasing multi-chime
whistles came into existence during the later years of
passenger service. We also have them in the lineup.
With our sound systems you can actually produce real
Whistle play patterns to signal exactly what the locomotive
action is going to be or signal for a grade crossing, station
stop, or departing from the station. Play the real WHISTLE
the way you want to. The Whistle will play as long as you
request it to play, dips & all (whistle dependent). No canned
play patterns here! Hear the real BELL operate. Hear the
EXHAUST CHUFFS increase to your selected speed
AC SOUND CONTROLLERS
automatically or if you choose, correctly synchronized
(optional feature). Listen for the BLOWERS, AIR PUMPS,
and SAFETY VALVE while your locomotive is at rest under
fire. The whistles are as pleasing or obnoxious as the real
whistle. Don't forget, they were warning devices. More
pleasing sounding whistles came about as passenger
service evolved.
Realism at it's best !
The STEAM SOUND SYSTEM is available with different
whistle types, we also change the other sounds, such as the
bell or exhaust chuff, as appropriate for the type of
locomotive that would use the selected whistle! Please refer
to the following pages and the price schedule for present
types available. These sound systems are designed and
assembled in the U.S.A. offering long term reliability and
support.
